Paper 1 for our group: Efron 1979

The course consists by definition of "reading good papers", and the exam, June 201, will indeed consist of candidates being given papers to present (more details later, also on these practical matters).

We'll do *some* "classic papers", papers statisticians should know about even if they're outside their main fields of interest, and also *modern PhD project relevant papers*. These latter ones should be published papers in journals, though, not the latest tech report from a famous scholar.

We meet Tue Jan 19, in B 819, to discuss and decide on things. I do believe we'll be relatively few this semester, so we can define this first meeting as indeed "a meeting", with 1.5 m distance etc.   

And here's our first paper: the ultraclassic Efron 1979, the start of bootstrap, and also giving kilograms of additional eternal fame to the already famous Efron.
